Many
plant species especially endemic species are extinction the results of biotic,
habitat, area and climatic factors with antropogenic pressures increasing in
every day. Antropogenic pressures and many ecological factors such as
climate changes can cause disruption of
plant reproductive sytems and thus decreasing of genetic diversity. Tanacetum albipannosum (Asteraceae) is endemic
to Türkiye and it is distributed in north east Anatolia and east Anatolia. The
species is an Irano-Turanian element and grows on rock crevices and rocky
slopes. Tanacetum albipannosum is classified within LR(cd) (the lower risk,
conservation dependent) category of IUCN (The International Union for
Conservation of Nature) in Red Data Book of Turkish Plants. Little is known
about the floral ecology or the life history of the species that could be used
to inform conservation or management decisions. In this study, reproductive
phenology (flowering and fruiting) and microclimatic factors (air temperature
and relative humidity) in the habitat of the species were presented for the
first time in detail. Reproductive season of the species lasted from June to
July. The flowering peaked mid-June, while the fruiting peaked early July. In
the habitat of the species, the average temperature and relative humidity in the
reproductive season were detected as 17.34±6.35ºC and 67.03±21.34%,
respectively. On the other hand, significant correlations were found between
phenological traits and microclimatic factors.
